The bird card reminded me of when I saw a bald eagle on a sea-doo ride with my oldest brother. We we on the sea-doo in upper hamlin, the upper part of the lake we were on. I could feel the water hitting me in the face, as he turned left and right. The water was as flat as glass, making us feel as if we were riding in the clouds. He drove really close to the edge of the lake, where there is reeds, and mush, and trees. I looked up and saw the bald eagle diving down as if it was going into the water. Then it swooped up and headed for the trees.
The ladder card reminded me of when I climbed the climbing tower at Camp Geneva this summer. My heart was pounding, like a cheetah running towards its prey. I put my first foot on the rope and started climbing. I climbed up the next part, a series of three tires. Next it was a rope ladder, that looked easier than it actually was. Then I climbed up the last part, a netted rope and some fake rocks. When I got to the top my hands were shaking. I climbed down my hands still shaking. When I got to the bottom everyone cheered for Ashley and me.
The globe card reminded me of when my family and I took a cruise. We started out driving to chicago at six in the morning. Then we got on the plane and took it to Huston, Texas. The houses looked like tiny doll houses. We stayed in a hotel with all of my cousins, and aunts and uncles. The next day we got on a bus and drove to Galveston, Texas. When we got closer to the docking area, I could see the huge cruise ships waiting for us to board. We waited until it was our turn to get on the boat and we got on. We first stopped at Roatan, Honduras. Then we stopped at Belize city, Belize. Then we went to Cozumel, Mexico. Then we took the boat back to Galveston, Texas and got off. We had to find our luggage in a huge warehouse, which was harder than finding a needle in a haystack.
